The Good Wife - Rape: A Modern Perspective
As Alicia represents a girl who accuses a classmate of rape, the case takes on a life of its own when the hacker group "Anonymous" takes notice and brings the trial into the public eye via the Internet.
Bitcoin For Dummies:
Alicia and Lockhart/Gardner face off against the US Treasury Department once again, this time aiding Dylan Stack, a lawyer who represents the creator of Bitcoin - an online currency with mysterious origins. Alicia’s client is being pressured to reveal the name of the anonymous Bitcoin creator so that the government can prosecute him for creating what they believe to be a currency in direct competition with the US Dollar.
But when the judge rules that attorney/client privilege prevents Stack from having to reveal the name of his client, the Treasury Department changes tactics and decides to prosecute Stack himself as the creator of Bitcoin.
Wendy Scott-Carr’s investigation into Will continues. When Dana Lodge discovers some damning information that could send Alicia to prison, she approaches Kalinda with an ultimatum: help the SA’s office prosecute Will, or they’ll go after Alicia

I could not buy a Ducati with Bitcoins. Therefore Bitcoins are fake currency.
An Austin family bragged Tuesday night that it had sold a 2007 Porsche Cayman S for 300 bitcoins, a virtual currency that has long been little more than a curiosity for financial reporters but is suddenly breaking into the broader consciousness, maybe just in time for the whole thing to go kablooey.

IT IS ILLEGAL!!! No explanation needed.....
Can you please direct me to the law that says that Bitcoins are illegal in the USA?
But here you can read about another man who tried and it didn't go so well for him either...

He was creating silver coins which is not a virtual currency.... fail!
You are not legally allowed to create a currency that rivals the US Dollar if you are a citizen of the USA
Once again, please direct me to said law in the books.
If you purchase money (or Bitcoins) outside of the USA, they will not EVER be allowed to be used as currency in the USA because IT RIVALS THE USD.....Which is Illegal
Explain these news reports about alternate currencies running in the USA RIGHT NOW.
Notice how the first news report says that "it is perfectly legal".
You would first need to convert the Bitcoins at a currency exchange into USD before purchasing anything in the USA.....Do you understand?
Nope. Ton of places including Wordpress.com (USA company) accept Bitcoins.
Here are a TON of USA companies that accept bitcoins
There is absolutely NO way to spend bitcoins on items in the USA.....You need to cash them in first, which if Bitcoin wants to open up at the local currency exchange can be possible, then you have to sell them there and get USD's for them.....
Nope, see above. Also explain how this family sold a porche for 300 Bitcoins in Texas.
This will never happen, Bitcoin wants to avoid USD.....Which somehow they are willing to take your USD to purchase them..........This doesn't immediately call out scam to you?? If not, good luck "investing" in illegal currency and something that will be worthless soon enough...
